I've not seen this before.  I wonder if it has something to do with
overriding recipes?  Thanks for reporting it.  However:

This backtrace is not useful because your version of GNU make was
compiled without debugging enabled.  Can you get a copy and build it
with CFLAGS=-g to enable debugging and disable optimization, then force
the failure and report the stack trace?

That would be very helpful.  Thanks!
